A man has been charged with drug supply offences after we found £26,000 in cash and a large amount of crack cocaine following a search in Walsall.

It comes after our proactive team searched a man and a home in Bloxwich yesterday morning (Tuesday 17 December). We found a large amount of class A drugs and £26,756 in cash.

Gordon is due to appear at the North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (Wednesday 18 December).
